I am not sure how they told me, because I grew up knowing that I was adopted, I knew all my life.

Do you know your birthparents and birthfamily??

When I turned 18, I contacted the adoption agency that my parents went through, they contacted both bio parents(its the law) my birth mother wrote to me, not wanting any further contact...her family she has now does not know of me. BUT I do know my birth father, and we have met and he also met my parents.
